Summary

 Simone Fleurier is wrenched from her home on a Provencal lavender farm at the age of 14 after the accidental death of her father. Forced to become a maid at the boarding house of her Aunt Augustine in Marseilles, Simone's life is hard and impoverished. But one of her aunt's boarders, the beautiful Camille Casal, a star at the local music hall, gives Simone a dream: that one day she too will be a famous singer and dancer. Years later, the famous Simone Fleurier, toast of Paris, watches Nazi troops occupy the city. Suddenly, her world is turned upside down, and Simone must make new and dangerous choices.©2005 Belinda Alexandra (P)2005 Bolinda Publishing Pty. Ltd. Fiction Historical Fiction

Wonderful history, Seamlessly moving from Simones personal life in the theatre to what was happening in France and Germany during the years. Her grief was palpable and very moving. I recommend this book, though long very insightful of the people and the era.

Totally enjoyed this story and the brilliant narration. The last 3 minutes of credits/information needs to be redone without the music coming over the top of narrator.

Lovely story
